Bar La Tabernita — Restaurant in Cádiz

Fabulous restaurant. We made the effort to go find it under recommendations and well worth it. Plenty of tables and service is very quick and helpful so you won't have to wait forever to get a seat, but still advise you get there early (not sure if the Google opening times are that accurate at the moment, but won't be far off). We had a selection of dishes: Ensaladilla de Pulpo (octopus salad), Bandenillas Salmon ahumado y queso en aceite (smoked salmon and cheese skewers), tortillitas de Camerones (crispy shrimp omelettes), Espirales de calabacin all ajillo (zucchini in wine and garlic sauce), Albondigas de Choco en su Tinta (cuttlefish meatballs in black ink), Cazon al Conac en salsa de tomate (dogfish in tomato and cognac sauce), Solomillo a pimienta (pork steak in pepper sauce), & chicken in Tio Pepe sauce with serrano ham cubes. All washed down with a lovely bottle of Rafa wine, some beers and plenty of personal interaction. Id say all the dishes were good, but the dogfish and salmon ones were excellent. I wanted to try the aubergine/cheese and the spinach/chickpeas but couldn't eat any more. Lovely surroundings with artwork for sale. I suggest trying to get a table outside. Highly recommended and much better than the...

Come at around 8/8:30 in the evening to get yourself a table and by 9 the ambience is a buzzing.

I recommend the hamburger with a blue cheese sauce, steak with cream sauce, croquetas and a healthy tasting of wines and sherries. Also, most tapas dishes come with chips, which I found peculiar but gosh they were so tasty, so keep them coming!

The menu changes for the summer and winter months, with the latter offering local stews, which I'm determined to come back and try.

The service was also fabulous, and the waitress helped us out with...

This place is exactly what I love about being in Spain. Sitting on stools, with a converted barrel as a table surrounded by locals and the atmosphere buzzing with conversations. The team that work there are so busy but always have a smile and make time to have a chat. The food on offer is exceptional, everything we ordered was delicious, so much so we come back the following night It does get busy, but you never have to wait that long for a table, and you can have a drink while you wait. Next time I am in Cadiz this will be my first stop. I wish them all the best...
